In Summary

Response is related to number of species in regional pool, the more species, the less the percentage of species in the city. Indicating a fixed number of species are able to move into cities. The size of the regional pool is correlated with both the amount of urban and cultivated land cover, both reduce species in the regional pool.

Response is also lower in wet biomes and areas of the world, this is seen through the higher rainfall in the month with least rainfall in the year, and lower percentages in wetter biomes such as flooded grasslands and moist broadleaf forests.

Finally cities with a higher proportion of green public space are less likely to have a low response.
